Application of multimodality imaging stereotactic localization in the surgical management of vascular lesions

Multidimensional image preplanning and accurate pre and intraoperative localization for intracranial vascular lesions have been implemented. Methodology include carbon fiber base ring, localizer plates, any X-ray tubes, PC compatible software and intraoperative localizing unit. Surgical management of deep arteriovenous malformations is especially suitable for this technique, including the use of intraoperative digital angiography.
